  In case you haven’t realized, the user and pass in the docker compose are for setting the user/pass that you will enter on windows to access the share. It doesn’t have to be the same as the Linux server user account - though mine is the same because it’s easier to remember.

  This very community seems to be the largest by far - around 45k followers if I’m seeing it correctly. It feels a lot more active than the average Lemmy community as well.

  Hmm, well it doesn’t seem to be any problem with the docker compose then as best as I can tell. I picked a random ext4 flash drive and replicated your setup with the UID and GID set and it seems to work fine:

  I would suggest adding “UID” and “GID” environment variables to the container, and set them to the numeric values for user and group numbers that show in place of your name when you use “ls -an” inside of the “mount” folder (they will probably be the same number). I get the same error as you when I copy your docker-compose and try to access a folder owned by my user. When I add the UID and GID of my user id to the docker-compose (1007 for me), the error goes away.

  The bigscreen beyond used 1 inch displays so this could be useful for getting much higher resolutions in a smaller form factor. I don’t think my Index displays are even as big as 4 inches so I guess that explains why all the super high res headsets are so huge.

  I haven’t used it myself but I plan on it eventually when I do make the switch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand, it looks like this only applies to streaming from a remote server where neither the server owner or the user has Plex pass, so lifetime holders or dedicated server operators with a subscription can continue to provide access to all our non paying friends. It isn’t explicit whether non-paying users people who port forward / do reverse proxying themselves are affected but it sounds like they are, which is utter BS since direct connections don’t cost Plex hardly anything.

  It is however nice that they’re trading this for getting rid of the mobile unlock BS - it was always awkward explaining to friends that they could watch anywhere except on their phone unless they paid $5.

  On the other hand, one notable side effect is that all non-lan streaming will now be associated with a paying server owner or a paying user, which makes it impossible to use Plex to share pirated media without a user on either end giving up PII / payment information. I have a gut feeling that this is an extension of the previous piracy crackdown on OVH(?) hosted servers meant to ensure they have the identity of all users who may be engaged in selling access.

  Overall, yeah another reason to move to JF. I paid for lifetime more than a decade ago so I’m going to keep using Plex until my non-paying friends start to have issues, but I really hope this pushes more investment into JF apps. I really need a good android TV app that supports server transcoding (IIUC findroid’s beta TV builds are direct stream only).

  Wow that’s impressive! I tend to be very value oriented, and at the sub $5 price, you’re getting so little that I feel like you’re mostly paying for a public IP and bandwidth. And of course selfhosting your compute is usually a win, especially if you already have something laying around. So I just pay the public IP tax for a reverse proxy and home host it all. I would probably go with a cheaper VPS for my reverse proxy but I need the confidence it’ll hold up to multiple friends Plex streaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoToSocial empowers you to have your own home on the Fediverse - with unique controls⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah if you aren’t down to publicly expose your IP address / port forward, the cheapest way I can think of still involves a several $/mo VPS that just reverse proxies home to a more powerful PC. That’s what I do since I’m behind CGNAT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only is there the issue of getting approval from the video creators, there’s the issue that most PeerTube servers aren’t ready to handle a huge influx in uploads, as this would likely be a bulk operation.

  Personally I think mirroring YouTube content would be more viable once ActivityPods lands and is integrated with PeerTube, which could potentially let you self host your PeerTube account data while still being part of a separate “home instance”, which would greatly help with the storage issue for PeerTube as we could all bring our own storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨brick layer printing strength analysis by my tech fun⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DW: Small sample size aside, it looks like the brick layers could be marginally stronger in some ways, but it can be weaker if you don’t also increase the extrusion multiplier since offsetting a column of circles down by half a row in a grid of touching circles will make the circles not touch (hopefully that’s an intuitive explanation of the need to increase the extrusion multiplier).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reverse Osmosis water system for sink and fridge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  During a boil water advisory that lasted more than a week we got a water drop brand RO system (the G3P800). It doesn’t have a tank but it instead uses a pump to do RO under a higher pressure so it outputs water fast enough to fill up a cup on demand, and a cooking pot if you’re not impatient. It came with a UV sterilizer, remineralization was an addon so we skipped it, especially since I prefer the taste that way and because I also use the RO water in our humidifiers and espresso machine where scale is a hassle. I’m a little biased because they accidentally refunded me so I got it for free, but it’s worked perfectly since we got it, and everything needed to install it was included (we just separately got a drain line adapter that lets us connect the waste line to the dishwasher drain so we could avoid modifying anything in our rental as the included adapter wants you to drill into the drain pipe). I have several TDS meters and the faucet’s included readout matches at usually 2-5, and I’ve used the water in my humidifiers 24/7 for months and still haven’t accumulated more than a couple days worth of regular water scale in any of them.

  I used to have a simple 3 stage under sink filter, so unfortunately I can’t really compare to other RO systems.

  I don’t really have a recommendation atm, I used to use mullvad but for torrenting I feel like the lack of port forwarding was hurting my ability to seed so I switched to proton. I also recently added Usenet into my mix and since many providers bundle a VPN subscription - and mine in particular supposedly also supports port forwarding (usenetdirect bundles a ghost path VPN subscription), I’m gonna try to get it to work with that so I don’t have to pay for a VPN separately but I haven’t tried it yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like their strategy is to force US companies to block access to piracy sites.

  I already run my torrent client through a non-US VPN so this can literally be bypassed by adding this to my prowlarr docker compose:

  I believe 4K is already basically there. I have a 50" 4K (2160p) that I sit 9 feet away from and based on the Nvidia PPD calculator, that makes for 168ppd, and according to that page 150ppd is around the upper limit of human vision. Apple’s “retina” displays target around 50-60ppd (varies based on assumed viewing distance).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar powered server rack⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the battery doesn’t pass through grid power then I think you would use an automatic transfer switch that switches between mains and battery inverter depending on which is powered. I had dreams of offsetting my homelab power with solar + battery + inverter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post your setup. no matter how uggo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My primary use case is safeguarding my important personal artifacts (family photos, digitized paperwork, encryption key / account recovery / 2FA backups) against drive failure (~2TB), followed by my decently sized Plex server (23TB), immich, nextcloud, and various other small things like selfhosted bitwarden, grocy, ollama, and stuff like that.

  I run all of my stuff off of a 6 bay Synology (more drives helps with capacity as double redundancy with 6 drives costs you 30%) with an Intel nuc on top to run plex/jellyfin transcoding using quicksync instead of loading the poor nas with cpu transcoding, I also run ollama on the nuc since it has faster cores than the nas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Laptop is depolymerizing -- how can I remedy this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like those “soft touch” plastic surfaces. I’ve had a bunch of old plastic things turn sticky that way - it’s really hard to get it off but what I do is alternate between isopropyl, WD40 (brushed on with a cotton swab or cotton ball and let it sit for a while to let it break down the sticky before using Clorox or isopropyl to remove the WD40), and Clorox wipes. Eventually the matte finish comes off and you’re left with a shiny plastic surface. It just takes a lot of elbow grease, I often give myself finger blisters from scrubbing but it’s a relief to get it off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clogged nozzle?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that petg? For some reason I usually have problems with petg and infill patterns that cross over itself so I usually switch to gyroid. I think it has something to do with the speed and flow and the properties of the filament that make it especially bad when the infill lines cross over itself. You can probably tune temps, speeds, and feeds to get it to work but I find it easier to just not use that infill pattern.

  They seem to just keep getting better and better. When I scratched the lens on my index due to my own carelessness they replaced the headset for free. It’s been 5 years since I bought it and the controller strap broke last week and they sent me a free replacement. Any other company and I would have expected my only option to be buying a new controller.
